Nice city getaway

Staying 2 nights for a family trip. Check-in was quick and easy. However, when we got to our room, we were disappointed to be allocated an accessible room, which was not what I booked. We had to request a new room due to unhygienic stains in the bathroom. Second room was clean and comfortable, son was entertained at kids corner & holiday movie night and buffet breakfast was great. Great location with light rail, Darling Harbour & the Star. I would suggest stair access to be provided as at certain times, we’d wait for 3-4 lifts before getting in.

Terrible.

Between getting stuck in an elevator, waiting over an hour for a salad at the restaurant, and having the front desk refuse to bring up a medical delivery that came to the hotel for my kid, this has been a horrible stay. Not sure how this is a 4 Star property. Maybe 30 years ago, but I’d say skip this dump.

Such a great hotel. Buffet breakfast was delicious and well worth it. Parking is great for 4wd’s as there is parking with higher height restrictions. Easy walk into the city. Clean and friendly staff. Only downfall would be rooms have double beds, not queens.

Check your glass before drinking

Reception and check in were great. The Buffet Breakfast was really fresh and lots of variety. The room was average in both cleanliness and comfort. The glass I wanted to use for water had lipstick and what appeared to be some left over food on it. Really turned my stomach!
